Occupational Safety and Health

A safe and healthy place to work

The Ricoh Group places high priority on the health and safety of all its employees. Initiatives that include a healthy working environment, child care and a commitment to work–life balance make the com­panies of the Ricoh Group places where people from diverse backgrounds can fully exercise their abilities.
Moreover, we provide full disclosure of our safety record and present information about related programs to the public so as to raise the general standard of welfare in the communities where we operate.

Managing the health of all employees

With the cooperation of the health insurance union, the Ricoh Group has developed an IT system to manage mental and physical health through the prevention and early detection of problems, with check-ups following treatment. We supplemented diagnostic programs with examinations for lifestyle-related illnesses and early detection of cancer for all employees over the age of 35. Our total health management covers all group companies and involves the collaboration of staff who work on mental health, physical health, and labor issues.

Strengthening our programs

The Ricoh Group adopted an Occupational Safety and Health Management System, and safety standards are constantly being improved. Regarding occupational accidents that have occurred within the Group, we share information on causes as well as measures to prevent recurrence, and to implement safety standards. A priority for the entire Group in 2014 is to eliminate accidents that cause operations to stop.
